Secret Story is a reality show centred on a group of contestants, each of them with their own dramatic secret, who live together in a large house isolated from the outside world. Their every move is caught on camera, and it’s their mission to keep their secret hidden from all other housemates.
Each housemate enters the house with a pot of cash. It is theirs to keep if none of the other housemates can guess their secret, but hiding from detection isn’t easy as each and every contestant is plotting to reveal the other’s unknown truths. The house itself is full of mystery and packed with undisclosed rooms and surprises. Clues are scattered throughout and it’s up to the players to use their intuition to discover each other’s secret.
Keeping their hoax from fellow contestants is only half the challenge. To win Secret Story they must also avoid the weekly public vote and eviction from the house.
As tensions grow and passions begin to stir, contestants find that their secret and their civility become harder to maintain. After weeks of deliberation and suspense, the remaining housemate who has survived each week’s public vote is crowned the winner.
